Chapter 1
Tan Zongming saw that Andy was soft and hard, so he had to throw out the killer plan carefully prepared for this trip. He placed a copy in front of Andy. "Take a closer look at this, you have to go back to China."
Andy smiled, "Old Tan, why bother. But she opened the copy in front of her anyway. It's hard for Lao Tan to carry such a thick piece of paper brick thousands of miles away, coupled with the fact that Andy and Tan Zongming worked together in their early years, cooperated tacitly, and had a deep friendship, she had no reason to reject Lao Tan thousands of miles away, although returning to China was not attractive to her.
She was an orphan, she made her home all over the world, and New York was the most familiar place in her life, and the feeling of familiarity was the feeling of security, and she demanded safety. However, as the pages turned, Andy's skinny face suddenly changed color. "This is my roster of all the boys born in 1983 in my hometown?"
"To be precise, it is a register of all the boys whose births were registered in 1983 on the register of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"You...... What do you mean...... Is there my brother in this? ”
"Yes. There are prerequisites for this: First, your memory when you were three years old must be accurate. It has been proven that you are a high-IQ genius, and the accuracy of your memory is beyond doubt. So let's start by delineating two elements: a boy, and a boy born in 1983; 2. In your memory, the woman who took your newborn brother with a local accent is like a treasure, and the woman directly calls your brother a son. So I'm going to circle the third element, which is that a local woman stole your brother, not for the purpose of human trafficking, but to steal it back to be her own son. Due to the scarcity of population movement in China in 1983, the people I commissioned did not find a suitable family to move out of your hometown in 1983, so I assume that your brother is still in his hometown, and he was taken in as a moth, and under the strict household registration policy of that year, he went through the legal birth registration in 1983. ”
Tan Zongming quietly peeled off the cocoon, just like discussing tens of millions of projects with Andy in the early years. "The friend I commissioned said that the people who are still alive are here. Further verification requires your cooperation. I see, Andy, the curtain has been lifted, and the protagonist should stand in the center of the stage. Let's go back home. ”
Andy didn't answer, her mind flew to a perilous winter night more than twenty years ago...... The black ...... that can't see the five fingers The mournful sound of the wind was mixed with the woman's mournful cry...... "It's time to give birth tonight, hurry, hard." ...... "Ah, the one with the handle." ...... "Son, my son, my precious son......" ...... The baby's crying and broken footsteps faded away...... The woman still screamed loudly and in a low voice...... Splitting headaches, unbearable hunger, and grogginess...... When I woke up, little Andy was already in the children's welfare home. Andy later consulted the records of the children's welfare home, and found that her admission was on February 4, 1983, the beginning of the lunar calendar, and the director gave her a name, He Lichun. Lichun is also the day of her mother's death. Even if a genius is like Andy, all she has is such a rare fragment of memory.
"I'm going home!" Andy takes a sip of water and takes three deep breaths, then takes another sip of water and takes another deep breath......
Tan Zongming understands that this past partner always uses deep breathing to control feelings when he encounters pressure and irritability, but today he advised: "It's okay to have seven emotions and six desires, and now is not the working time." ”
Andy, who quickly calmed down, did not answer, but changed the topic, "Lao Tan, help me find a mid-range community, the area is enough to live, and the company's subway is less than half an hour's drive, the community has strict access control, and the law and order is good." I will immediately go through the procedures for the resignation and handover here, and I will be able to take up my new post within two months. ”
"I will prepare a better house for you, and I believe you can afford it too. Housing prices in China are now strong, and it is also cost-effective to invest. ”
"No, no, the place where I live now is sparsely populated to thin, and I regret buying this kind of uninhabited place. I like noisy pyrotechnics. ”
Qu Xiao went home like a broken flower, half-squinted and threw the car keys on the table, too lazy to turn on the light, and charged the mobile phone that had been out of power all night by the faint morning light that came through the window. She wore the season's suspender evening dress, a slender waist, long hair and bewitching, and the night party did not leave a trace on her young skin, but ...... She is willing to pretend to be decadent and droop her face, and she also deliberately pasted a string of rhinestones like teardrops on the corners of her eyes.
There was her mother's SOS on her mobile phone, and Qu Xiaoxuan, who had already fallen to the bed, had to struggle to get up, go to the balcony to light a cigarette, and call her mother back. At this time, the mother in China is bathing in the afternoon sun. Her mother is the kind of strong woman who is known as lifting weights lightly and pampering without being shocked, and her mother has issued SOS again and again, and there must be something big. Sure enough, Qu's mother didn't even ask her daughter why she called in the early morning, but went straight to the point.
"I'm a dead man, and I even knew that the two sons of your father's hometown had already settled in Haishi, and they still had a townhouse for one person, and one person for a million-dollar luxury car......"
Qu Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and every cell of the whole person was fully awake in an instant. "Mom, why didn't you control the financial rights, these properties were started by you and your father, and they were passed on to me in the future, why should they."
"Being a wife, especially after becoming a yellow-faced woman, how can there be human rights in this family. I can't control your father, although we are not rich, but we are also a big family, and your mother and I can't fool with this little knowledge. Come back, or the family will be wiped out. ”
Qu Xiaoxuan rested her head against the cold cast-iron railing, forcing herself to listen intently to her mother. Indeed, compared to her friends here, her family is not rich, and no one in her family is an official in the yamen, and her family only has a few properties that her parents have earned for 20 years. She knows very well in her heart that the two townhouses and two million-dollar luxury cars in Haishi are a thick slice of meat in the family property. And it was the two sons of Dad's ex-wife who snatched the knife, and the meat was like a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return. She can't sit idly by, she has to defend her property.
Qu Xiaoxuan took a deep puff of cigarette, "Mom, I'll go home immediately and work in the company." ”
"Ah......" Qu's mother cheered, and then turned flat again, "Very good, you come back, my mother will prepare a mansion supercar for you, of course, it is better than those two brothers." ”
"No, Mom, you prepare a mid-range residential house for me, it doesn't need to be big, a hundred square meters, it's enough to live, but the bathroom is better for me." Well, get a hatchback car, 100,000 yuan. We have a conscience, and we don't have the same knowledge as the people over there! ”
Qu Mu understood, "Xiaoxuan, I have wronged you." But you're right, mom is glad you're smarter than mom, and you see I'm mad and just thinking about talking to you. By the way, you will receive my email tomorrow, and I want you to bring me a few bags when I return home. ”
On the small street downstairs from the balcony, an old man was led by a lively golden retriever dog, and suddenly heard the woman's hoarse scream. The old man looked left and right and didn't find the source of the sound, and finally followed the golden retriever's eyes to look up, but he didn't see any shadow, the old man's eyes were like seeing a charm, and he quickly turned against the guest, and hurriedly fled with the golden retriever.
Ode to Joy was delivered five years ago, and for the past five years, the sound of decoration has always been wafting over the community, but in the past five years, the smell of fried fish wafting in the corridors at night has become more and more dense. Due to the good location of the community, the occupancy rate is very high compared to other communities. However, the two houses on the 22nd floor of Building 2 in the community have been vacant for several years, and they have been renovated together recently, and they are still working overtime to decorate, as if the owners are in a hurry to move in. So the three girls who were caught in room 2202 were overwhelmed, and they went out early and returned late every day to avoid the noise.
2202 is a north-south house, the drawing design is two bedrooms and two living rooms, the two rooms face south, and the living room is a dark room, relying on the door of the two rooms to let in a little southern light. The owner renovated the house into a three-room aisle and rented it to three foreign girls. It was early autumn, the weather was still sultry, Fan Shengmei, who lived in the living room and changed it into a room, was the most annoyed, her room was a dark room, and she originally relied on opening the door of 2202 to ventilate, but the decoration of the residents on both sides made her unable to open the door, and after a summer, she felt that the room was already stinky, and she could also change her name to Fan Shengmil.
But the reality of the skinny feeling can't stop Fan Shengmei's plump ideal. Fan Shengmei's ideal is to take root in the sea market and go deep into the prosperity. For the sake of the ideal, Fan Shengmei took two hours off and left work early, stepped on high heels and rushed out of the large office of the personnel department of the manufacturing company in the suburbs, and under the shadow cast by a strong man, she bravely grabbed the rare taxi in the suburbs, rushed to the subway station to transfer home, took a bath, made up and changed her hair into one dress after another, and finally chose a smoky gray double palace silk dress. The dress is simple and elegant, not revealing, but it wraps Fan Shengmei concave and convex. Fan Shengmei skillfully put a few poses in front of the dressing mirror, and snorted proudly, "I, there is material!" I, there is a taste! You, deserve it. The voice is wonderful, and it is close to Li Bingbing.
As soon as the words fell, Fan Shengmei realized that the corridor was unusually quiet today. She opened the door curiously and went out, and sure enough, she saw that the doors of 2201 and 2203 were closed, instead of the two doors that were often open during the renovation, and they were happy to accommodate heaven and earth. Fan Shengmei hurriedly folded back into the house and hung up her jewelry, picked up a large satchel that could fit half of her and went downstairs, and asked the security guard on the ground floor to ask.
Don't look at Fan Shengmei as a tenant in a dark room in the building, she has always carried forward the spirit of ownership in the Ode to Joy community, and the property staff in the community never treat her as an outsider, the female security guard Xiao Zheng smiled when she saw her, and warmly greeted her with dangerous high heels. Fan Shengmei got the information from Xiao Zheng's mouth, the 2201 and 2203 decorations are over, and the decoration company has returned the access cards respectively, and it is said that the residents of the two places will move in quickly, and they are all owners, not tenants. Room 2201 must be single, a large three-bedroom, two-living room and two-bathroom to wear into a luxury one-bedroom, one-living room and two-bathroom, Xiao Zheng said intoxicatedly: "I went up to check in the morning, I never thought that the windows of the house in our community were so big, so transparent, and the sun shook my eyes." I heard that the owner will move in next Saturday, and I must dress up beautifully, maybe it will be a diamond king. ”
